As the Altama OTB Maritime Assaults became my favourite everyday shoes to wear, I thought that they’d look really good in an OD Green upper/Black sole version, inspired by the classic Vietnam Jungle boots colour scheme. I brought up the suggestion to Dan Ellis, and he agreed that it would definitely be cool, and said that he’d see what he could do about requesting some samples made.

Launched at SHOT Show 2017, the OTB Maritime Assault from Altama is available in low and mid heights. With its fin-friendly fit, the OTB Maritime Assault was designed foremost for military water operations; but is really a very versatile piece of footwear that is quickly becoming my favourite for every day wear. If you like sneakers or Converse Chuck Taylors, you’ll want to get a few pairs of these.

The Z Series boots are the latest offerings from Lowa’s Task Force line. The Z Series boots come in both 6″ and 8″ versions, and Goretex (waterproof) and non-Goretex versions. Featured here is the Z-6S GTX, the waterproof 6″ boot.

Salomon, an icon in the civilian outdoor gear industry is introducing their Forces product line; dedicated to the specific needs of military, safety and law enforcement professionals. Two of their new Forces boots are featured here. They’re adapted from their successful commercial models; the Quest 4D and XA Pro 3D mid.

When you’re done doing whatever tactical stuff you’re doing in your MultiCam gear, and are ready to relax, doff the boots and slip on a pair of the Freewaters MultiCam Scamp Sandal, exclusively from SKD Tactical.

The Classic 6″ Boots in Coyote from Original SWAT are a good choice as mid-top summer boots for wear with shorts at the range or on the trail. A reminder that Original SWAT makes more than law enforcement boots, and not all their boots are black or have side zippers.

The Melee is Danner’s lightest and most flexible tactical boot, designed specifically for close quarter tactcis. It features a unique outsole design and athletic performance, and is available in a variety of heights and colours, including Crye MultiCam.

A seeming newcomer to the tactical boot arena is Sand Storm Footwear. Sand Storm appeared on the scene with the release of three new desert boots: the HooDoo, Lightfighter and Stinger, available exclusively at initial release through USCAV. Shown here are the HooDoo and Lightfighter. But in actuality, ‘newcomers’ they are not.

The Camino Flex GTX boots from Lowa are designed for distance hiking and trekking. However, their subdued appearance also makes them suitable for more ‘tactical’ use, with the added benefit of excellent support and stability.

The Salomon Quest 4D GTX boots are popular hiking boots, but haven’t been available in the U.S. in a ‘tactical’ colour until just recently. Mission Ready Equipment and Ãœber Group Llc., brought over a supply of Quests in brown manufactured for the European market, and are available exclusively (for now), from Mission Ready Equipment.
